Memories

     I saw a distant relative's FB post which reminded me of my own memories growing up in the farm. I can fully relate to what she said.

Her FB post

     We both experienced to live without electricity, since it only came to our village when I was in Grade Two I think, around 1977. Before that, there was no electricity and we survived using kerosene lamps. When night time came, it was awesome when the moon was out because the atmosphere was lovely. But when there was no moon, it was pitch black. There was no internet then. We used books to read our school assignments. We had no TV so we couldn't watch TV shows. My family would gather around a transistor radio listening to radio dramas. That was the simple life we had in the village. There were no complications.
